The album is the follow-up to 2011's Carnival Is Forever. Guitarist Waclaw Kieltyka says: "Extreme and groove - I think that's the best way to describe our new album. This time we feel that we have something totally crushing and huge.

"Blood Mantra is the most heavy and mature album we ever did in our career. I cannot wait to start to play the songs live because riffs are so deep and powerful."
